no good. Great drawing, but it doesn't really reflect Conan as we imagine him. Conan was no Telemachus,I think we all imagine him as a barbarian from birth, and I cannot see him as a child with a confused look in his eye. Great piece of art, but to me, conan will always be that scary barbarian you never wanna look in the eye

that really nice he have to learn before he become the greatest cimmerian, young teen still a bit innocent ready to fight...I like dat that's coool..
:iconspiderguile:
Terrific teen Conan version! Despite what :iconkuewa: said, I think you managed to bring out the unsecure years of Conan warfare and thief skills learning, just after his slavery days!! He is free in a world he doesn't know well, ready to slice it like a hot knife in butter!!!
I really that quite romantic stare he got too, maybe a little far from what we would imagine of a teenage barbarian, but ain't he a teenager before being a barbarian in that very piece?! ;)
Cool deviation, my friend, and keep up the great work!!!

I respect your view point on Conan.. but even in the movie he was a scared kid when he was first introduced.
I wanted to try and reflect an alternate world where he somehow got free of slavery before he was hardened into what we know and love him to be.
And as most of us when we were teenagers.. we wanted to look cool, but really, internally we had our doubts about our direction.

We all hafta walk before we could run yeah ? =D

But thank you ! I do see your point about the most dangerous man to ever walk in a loin cloth.. ;)

gotta take conan at face value, he has no past, no future, no common name. He is the american Jubei Yagyu. He's a great character because his story can only be told by the lives he's taken. To describe his past, or to give reason to his brutal nature would only serve to humanize a god like character, Let him be Conan the calamity, and save your thoughts on adolescence for some other character. Don't make the tall tales shor, fella
